M83 have posted a teaser for their upcoming album Echoes, the follow-up to 2008's critically-acclaimed Saturdays=Youth. Though no release date has been announced, the video offers some solid evidence to M83 group leader Anthony Gonzalez's claims, in a recent interview with Spin Magazine, that his latest release will be "very epic".

The interview went on to reveal Echoes is in fact a double album about "dreams, how every one is different, how you dream differently when you're a kid, a teenager, or an adult" and will include guest vocals from the likes of Zola Jesus and Brad Laner of the band Medicine.

I could maybe see you acknowleding that one of their other albums is the best, but x album is your favorite for some sentimental attachment reason. But saying it is their worst album yet your favourite, that is a bit weird.

The style of Saturdays = Youth is kind of cool, but give me any of their other full lengths over it any day of the week.

Haha well I could say my favorite album by The Format is Interventions + Lullabies since it's
the first one I heard and it has more sentimental value, but I recognize that Dog Problems had
better songwriting, was more varied, and the album was just better overall. But I still play Interventions + Lullabies more often.

I can really only say that about like 3 other artists anyways. It's kinda hard to explain without
coming off as nonsensical.

Edit: Yeah I agree with Liberi Fatali points. Though now that I'm reading it again it is a bit odd to
say a band's worst album is your favorite, but the point can still hold true.

@crazyblinddude, i get your point. i enjoyed Saturdays more as it was the first i heard by them and has more sentimental value. Dead Cities on the other hand has more depth and is 'objectively' the stronger album. same applies to Porcupine Tree for example. i prefer listening to FoaBP over In Absentia, even though i recognise the latter is superior

@deviant: it might be odd but like blinddude said, Saturdays was the first album i ever listened by m83 and i still love it, but i can acknowladge that the rest of the discography is better and has a different and better energy but i still prefer Saturdays=youth over them.
